Have you login and access via command prompt ftp.exe ?

what does the ftp log say? status code ?
default log path %windir%/system32/logfiles/msftpsvcX/
X - site id.

is this anonymous access or basich authentication ?

Any firewall / NAT in between ?
have you try the same test at the server itself ?

can you post the msgs using ftp.exe and ftp server log ?

Bernard, i can't find any ftp log. There is a router in between but i
have enable port forwarding on ftp port. In server, if i type
"ftp://ip address" then it is ok. But not with my domain name or
outside my network.

In my dns, i put one A record for the ftp address. Host name ftp
followed by my domain name. Is it correct ?

Daniel

default ftp log path is %windir%/system32/logfiles/msftpsvcX/
X is the site id

if you can access via ip but not with any FQDN name, this is name resolution
problems.
check your dns record and etc.

Just typical A record will do. the exact steps depend on what kind of DNS
server you using. anyway that's beyond the discussion of this group.

if you from malaysia - you can try post it under 'server' section in
www.mind.com.my.

if you using ftp.exe, you still need to enter
username as 'anonymous' and password as 'email@email.com'
this is because ftp.exe don't auto connect as anonymous.

IE and other typical ftp client will auto login as anonymous users.
